SDoAR 2.51: It's a Hogmanay Miracle!

Lang may yer lum reek! Or as some folks more locally like to say, Happy New Year's Eve!

Lots of fantastic fundraising in the past week! $500 raised since Christmas Eve, meaning *three* new pages have been unlocked, and 24 total raffle tickets already sold! Not too shabby!

So let's keep the momentum rolling and keep kicking up the GoFundMe totals to support Dave Sim continue his work on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond *and* get a chance to win this fabulous Cerebus plush!

Rules to win the December Raffle and Help Out SDoAR

Entries (or our equivalent of raffle tickets) cost $25 each and can be donated via lump sum to the Strange Death of Alex Raymond 2024 GoFundMe campaign through Monday, January 13, 2025 at midnight, PST.

I will then randomly assign numbers to each entry and have Dave pull yet another Karnak, and I'll announce the winner on January 14, 2025. Cool?

Hi, Everybody!

So I heard back from Gerhard about  yesterday, and he sent this photo:

Ger's caption: "Shelley, Teddy and me at the Pride Stables Christmas Open House"

Ger's the one who is not in a dress, and doesn't take a dump standing up... usually.

Mondays!

And then This.

Then, you can disagree with me if you want, but at the end of issue #5, Cerebus is heading to Iest. The next issue starts with him in Iest. Which means this story can only take place after #5, and before #6. Dave, years ago on the Yahoo Group, said that this takes place after #6, but Cerebus LEAVES Iest at the end of #6, and in this story (as you're about to see, when I finally shut up) Cerebus is on his way TO Iest. This is where the series starts to become seriously less episodic and has less holes in the continuity. (And the holes there have been up to this point aren't that big. Dave has always said he was VERY aware of the holes in Conan continuity, and consciously kept Cerebus' continuity as tight as possible, which meant that if he finished an issue and was asked to do another story, he would set it on the heels of the previous story and continue it into the next issue, see how Passage fits in between #3 and #4... Something he stuck to until around issue 80 (when Gerhard showed up, I think Dave had enough continuity that he felt he could play around without screwing everything up.) Plus, at the end of #5, Cerebus DOESN'T have the black vest, and in #6 he does. And as you're about to see, here he DOESN'T have it. THis story has to takeplace between #5 and #6...

I'll probably ask Dave about all this when we talk on Thursday to record the first Please Hold For Dave Sim of 2025. Unless everybody sends in a mountain of questions to momentofcerebus@gmail.com before I send the fax up Wednesday night...

Anyway, THEN:

Again, Dave and I are doing Please Hold Thursday, and it just wouldn't be a party without ya! momentofcerebus@gmail.com
